The experience
About this quest
You are a modest librarian in Communist Prague, where dissent is crushed and opposition is forbidden. Secretly, you are part of a resistance network, smuggling documents to foreign diplomats to expose the regime’s abuses.
State Security agents stalk you at every step. To survive, you must be clever, cautious, and brave. Uncover hidden stories and secret places across Prague in this thrilling mission. Are you ready?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
History fans curious about Communist Czechoslovakia, and couples or friends who like a spy story, play a 1989 librarian smuggling documents past State Security, solving puzzles on a 3.3 km walk from the Old Town Bridge Tower to the Jan Palach Memorial. If you would rather quiz a live guide about the Communist era, or cannot manage around two and a half hours on foot, pick something else.
